Pest control becomes aware of the changed behaviour and captures some of the rats. One person is bitten and becomes infected.

Disease links to rats

The disease mutates and becomes airborne with an incubation time of three weeks. It worsens, causing muscle ache, confusion and fatigue. Within a week, patient one dies from respiratory failure; within a few more weeks, many other fatalities are recorded in central Europe, the US East Coast and China.

After 8 weeks WHO issues a global pandemic alarm and attempts to contain and quarantine the disease. Large swathes of population begin to show symptoms, slowing government down. People start to hoard supplies and lock themselves at home in order to avoid contact with others. Meanwhile, rat populations boom and take to the streets, invading supermarkets and homes in order to find food.

Nyheim is an exciting single-player board gaming experience a fusion of digital and tabletop.
